1 Pro/ENGINEER Interface for CATIA V5 with Associative Topology Bus (ATB) Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire Series Overview Asa Trainer Director, Product Management March 2010 Rev I

2 Pro/ENGINEER Interface for CATIA V5 with ATB Licensed module Separately Licensed Module Installation Locked to Pro/ENGINEER (CPT-3232-L) Floating Module (PTN-3232-F) No CATIA V5 installation or licensing required Import and Export processor CATProduct Assembly format CATPart Part format CGR Facet format 2

3 Interface for CATIA V5 Entity Support Supports 3D geometry and topology ATB-enabled Config option topobus_enable yes no* Visibility support Show / No Show Layers Hidden Facet import/export via CGR format intf3d_in_import_as_facets yes no default* Default value for CATIA V5 is no Replaces c5_import_as_faceted yes no (default) in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M030 and later) Export transparency and edge color Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M090 and later Exact Rep Face Color (optional, by config) Config option c5_color_import yes no* Drawings and applications data (cabling, piping, CAE data) are NOT supported 3

4 Interface for CATIA V5 CGR Import Import *.CGR files (parts or assemblies) Import CATPart and/or CATProduct as faceted (extract CGR only) intf3d_import_as_faceted_heal yes (default) no 5 times faster than exact import! Good for Space Claim and Design-In-Context activities CGR Export Export Exact data as CGR (faceted) CATPart as CGR, CATProduct with CGR components Exports mixed part models (exact and facet features) as CATProduct with separate CATPart and CGR components 187 Components as Exact 20 min 187 Components as CGR Healed 7 min 187 Components as CGR Quick 4 min 4

5 Faceted Models for Design-in-Context Operations Mass Properties Calculation Measurement between Faceted & Exact Pairs Clearance Cross Section Creation Datum Feature Creation Formats Import STL, VRML, STEP Faceted, CATIA SOLM, DXF 3D & ProductView OL/ED CATIA CGR Design-in-Context JT 5

6 New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 Cables as geometry Export and Import Intf3d_out_cables yes no (default) Facet and exact representation Updated Facet Export Controls New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M120 and 5.0 M020 New Step Size Intf3d_out_use_step_size yes no (default) Defines uniform size for triangles Chord Height and Step Size calculated per part Intf3d_out_diff_chord_heights yes no (default) Intf3d_out_diff_step_sizes yes no (default) Facet assembly formats only: CATProduct with CGR, JT w/o Step Size with Step Size 6

7 Interface for CATIA V5 Product Structure Support Support import and export of assemblies containing mixed source components i.e. CATProduct containing CATProduct CATPart CGR Additional support for import of assemblies containing mixed source components V4 *.model Must have Interface for CATIA II license for V4 support Distributed Pro/BATCH Support Export and Import TTDs for CATPart CATProduct CGR 7

8 Associative Topology Bus Associative One-directional associativity: CATIA V5 to Pro/ENGINEER Pro/ENGINEER Translated Image Model (TIM) Contains link to Source (CATIA V5) object Topology Bus Maps geometry IDs from CATIA V5 to Pro/ENGINEER Maintains geometry IDs as changes are made Checks for changes in the CATIA V5 (Source) object Update import geometry based on changes in Source object Change Link, Make Independent 8

9 Support for CATIA Long Names Long Names (up to 80 characters) supported Special Characters replaced ATB Mode in Model Tree without Truncation Non-ATB Mode Truncated in Model Tree With Duplicates Indexed Full Names Available 9

10 New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 and PDMLink 9.1 Heterogeneous Design-In-Context (HDIC) 10 Multi-CAD (Pro/ENGINEER, UG, CATIA V5) support in Windchill PDMLink Represent complete mixed CAD product structure in Pro/ENGINEER and Windchill. One WT Part one source CAD Document multiple image CAD Documents Open CATIA V5 CAD Documents in Pro/ENGINEER to create ATB image CAD Documents. CATIA V4 supported in the context of a CATIA V5 assembly. ATB enables: Check Status, Unlink, Re-link, and associative Updates on Pro/ENGINEER TIM (image) models Required Components Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 M060 or later CATIA V5 R16 (R17 supported in M080 or later) Windchill Workgroup Manager for CATIA V5 PDMLink 9.1 F000 or later Owner Source Part Derived Image TIM

11 New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 Shared Memory Limited to GPI-based processors CATIA V5, CGR, JT, ProductView, UG, Autodesk Inventor, and CADDS5 Introduced in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 (M080) Benefits Reduced processing time Reduced memory (RAM) usage Shared 50 Memory Performance & Resource 40 Wildfire Import model (65 MB) % 600% M Faster less RAM M080 0 Minutes GB duplicate Pro/ENGINEER memory Before IPC duplicate GPI Processor memory Pro/ENGINEER Now shared memory GPI Processor 11

12 New in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 New Import Wizards Greater transparency of data exchange options Improved workflow Finer control of settings Updated import log files XML format (*.xml) Log Options Generate on Import Short - receipt Long - full log None Dynamically generate Info > Data Exchange > Import Log Status Indicator 12

13 Relevant Config.pro to profile mappings Config.pro options in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 topobus_enable yes no* Profile settings in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 Model tab Enable ATB intf3d_in_import_as_facets yes no default* Model tab Import as facet model And c5_import_as_faceted yes no* c5_color_import yes no* Misc tab Include Colors 13
